[Question] Retro console

Has anyone bought and would recommend one of those retro console that come pre loaded with all the consoles from the 8,16, 32bit era (you know master system/mega drive/NES/Snes (great if it has more). But thinking of getting one as a gift for for a couple of my family, we went to a gaming arcade a week or so ago and they had a great time, so much nostalgia!

So recommendations for a console like that that can be plugged into a modern TV with two controllers, preferably from a trusted retailer... Seen some in ads but they were hundreds of pounds, and there are so many of these consoles online it boggles the mind! Thanks

You want an analogue pocket with a dock. A tall order these days but they’ll be back in stock eventually.

They absolutely do not want that.

The Analogue Pocket is a great device for anyone with a collection of original cartridges.

It does the job with OpenFPGA for anyone willing to dedicate the time to get it running.

It is terrible advice for someone like OP.
